Hi Everyone

I posted some pictures a while back of the farm were he works, since then they have accuired a new toy ( as my dad calls it ). It replaces there Jcb 526 farm Special which they had from new.

The New Toy

Whilst I was at the farm I got loads more pics of the masseys and machinery, I will post them up later.

Thanks for looking

Simon

So you from  Nantwich then  im from chester went to Reasheath for 2 years

Hi. I live i a village called Malpas, Nr Whitchrch. I also went to Reaseheath for two years ( 2000-2002 ) and after that I went to work for Malpas Tractors in Wrexham for two years but they were horrid to work :'( for and I now work in the motor trade in Wem, Shropshire. Timber toys are the only decent stockists of models near me.

regards Simon

This is a great local company from whom I buy most of my models from. They make a great range of 1/32 buildings which are made from wood and they are very well made. Check out there new rotary porlour They stock britains and siku full range and do mail order as well.

P.S they are based nr Nantwich, Cheshire. Any more info please pm me

Enjoy, Simon ( hody21 )

Wow, that lot has got to be worth a small fortune. Well done for looking after them.

Im sure I have this model in my collection in the same box to

CHECK OUT THAT FRASER BALE TRAILER :o :o

That's the only single axle I made with bale ladders :o :o

Exellent model it is to. We bought it at spalding in april of this year

Whats the big red MF to the left of the pic then? Just being nosey.

Hiya

The big massey is a Very old air-fix kit that my dad made when he was little, quite a good model to be honest.

Will you both be competing to out do eachother like contractors do with eachother?

I now have more models than him so I should get more customers, besides he drives masseys for a living

Hi

Here are a couple of pics of my dads layout which he has constructed over the years.

hoping to convert the other side of the attic soon so I can have a layout of my own

I hold my hands up it was me

Thanks mate, like I said my dad was well chuffed with it. It takes pride of place on his layout.

Thanks

hody21

Not sure if this is were I should be posting this but hey

My dad bought this from spalding this year and he is well chuffed. Its one of them models he has always wanted somebody to do and it has been done so well. Great detail and really well made. He bought it from a seller with some really nice ford convos, one especially stuck in my mind was a ford 5610 with a uh hedgecutter on the back.

Just wondered who made it and if he was a member on here

Piccys

Many thanks

hody21

UPDATE :)

Went to see my dad today to see how he was gettin on and they have hired a rotavator from a local company to work the soil down a bit, made the tractor bark a bit but it did sound very sweet. Got a bit snappy happy  so hope theres not to many pics. Marky will probably like these pics more as IT is a redn again...

There are some more and can post if you want them..

Er............stupid question................

Were those pictures taken when the tractor was new in 93; or has it been restored and the pictures are recent. It's nice to see some good pictures of the size of tractor used in my area. There's a future classic tractor if ever I saw one. Bet it sounds nice too.

     When I sold tractors and farm machinery for a living; people often asked me what was the best way to run a tractor in. I always told them to hitch it up to a plough or power harrow as soon as it arrived. They always seemed to perform better after they were run in on some heavier work.

Great pictures, and thanks for sharing them. 

Hi mate

The pictures were taken only yesterday. The tractors are just very well looked after. I think they have had the tractor from new but im not sure.

A few more

Hello again

I dont know exactly how many but I have a few. I have been collecting rhem since I was little, I was always told to look after them. My dad has recently given me most of his collection which he has also had since he was little. I have a few rare ones like both the the countys ( white and yellow), mb tracs, mf 590,595 etc. Ill try to gets more pics if I can..

Great pics, well done :)

Are you next to, or by the main road called the A49?

Hi mate. I live in Malpas ( very close to the A41 ) but my dads farm is in a place called Larkton. If you type in SY14 8JY in multimap.co.uk you get a good arial view of the farm. hope that helps.

nice colection mate can we see a closer/better picture of the international?

Here you go mate, plus there are a few more of my models. Most are kept in our semi converted attic were they are safe. Its difficult to get them out of their boxes as they never seem to go back in again.....

are you coming again in October?

I sure am mate

Sorry I keep finding more pics

All from the same farm, My dads main tractor is his 399 which does most of the main work apart from mowing which the 398 handles..

A big UH fan then by the looks of it!! Is that International a Towse one?

Yes it is, I got it at spalding last year.
